Referenser.

Glömde referenser. Tändstickor och ciggaretter i ett? Kan det vara något? För mig personligen räcker det med tändstickor för att vandalisera bilar, men för den nikotinberoende kanske båda delar underlättar? ;)


Ciggisar och tändstickor i ett? Idé och design utav João Sabinoe

Intressant klipp må jag säga. Skulle jag vilja ha? Nej, men intressant är det dock.

Sent, jag vet.

Sent, jag vet. Är väl medveten om detta. Av personliga angelägenheter har jag inte orkat att blogga föregående vecka. Ibland måste tid avsättas på rätt sätt och förra veckan orkade jag inte med "måsten", tiden gick till annat.

Men nu så, nu tänkte jag inför morgondagens redovisning sammanfatta litet utav veckan som gick. I onsdags hade jag och mina övriga gruppmedlemmar en så kallad "mini-redovisning" med Mr M. Jag var sist ut och som ovan nämnt har inte mina tankar infunnit sig på projektet de senaste två veckorna, därmed ansåg jag inte att min redovisning var något att ha och kände att de andra var väldigt tydliga med vad de arbetat med och velat få fram. De är duktiga, samtliga utav mina gruppmedlemmar och vad som är extra intressant är att vi alla valt så pass olika ingångar i våra projekt. Nåväl, jag var sist ut och plockade fram min modell med TVÅ sönderslagna bilar fastklistrade. Kändes så där. -"Segregation", började jag sakta och inte alls säkert. Jag hade svårt att tro på min idé, mina tankar kring projektet. Men Mr M och mina gruppmedlemmar trodde på mig och uppmuntrade mig och sa "det här är bra!". Plötsligt infann sig en rejäl känsla av energi och lycka. Jag kände att "jo fan, det här kan kanske gå vägen ändå!".

Dagen efter fick jag hjälp utav Annie, att fota när jag skulle tända eld på resterande två bilar nere vid Kungsladugård/Röda Sten/Klippan. Jag hade tagit med mig en kamera, alcogel, tänstickor, toalettpapper och mina två bilar. Annie fotade och gjorde ett KANONJOBB! Bilderna blev suveräna, liksom filmerna hon filmade ihop. Det hela resulterade därefter i ett hemmagjort bildspel som jag suttit och slipat på sedan dess. Imorgon får det bära eller brista. Jag är nervös. Kommer jag vara tydlig i mitt budskap? Är jag ens själv medveten om vad det är jag förmedlar? Är jag en huligan? Nej, jag ställer mig däremot kritisk till segregation och vill vända på steken lite.

Imorgon är det redovisning...känner mig som sagt nervös, ska göra mitt bästa. Försöka orka med.

Okey, a delayed comment.

Okey. Here is a very delayed comment on the latest week of my project.

My model is now finished. I've been thinking about it since and been wondering if I should have painted it and maked it look even more "real", but I don't know. Maybe I should keep it white, just like a model-look-alike. I think that I might have to ask my group today.

I have also bought four different cars and two of them I have destroyed with an axe at school a few days ago. The other two will be burned at Kungsladugård I think and I will bring my videocamera to document my action.

Apart from all this I feel a bit confused. I just don't seem to know what I am doing and who I am doing this for? All my ideas are gone at the moment and in today's newspaper I read an article about the fires in Backa and now the police has come up with other sort of thoughts about all the fires and WHY the actions and vandalizations are taking place. The reason of now, to me, have turned and I don't know if my thoughts are strong enough to "carry" my work. Or, are they? I really have to talk to Mr M and all the members of my group today. I'm looking forward to it. I really do.

A few days ago I want to school to destroy two of the cars which I had bought at that time. At first I wanted to use a hammer, but I couldn't find any, so instead I used an axe. I felt like a vanalizing person, never explored that feeling before. Well, at least not in this time of age...cliffhanger?

Anyway, C was in the classroom that day and she helped me document the action with my cellphone, so the film is not in that good shape, but anyways...it still is a film.



Among this, my own action, I got to think of vandalizations in different ways. I studied videos of vandalized cars on youtube and aslo found a video which is called "Art crimes" where they talk about graffiti as a crime.

I also got to think of the fires in Paris a few years ago and here is one link of a consert with Timbuktu, Chords and Spiderdogs in Stockholm. They rap about why this is happening etc. I song I might have to use...maybe...

That is all for now! Regards, J

Model finished.



Yesterday I went to school and finished my model of what is left of Kungsladugård. I really enjoy doing modelwork in another scale and make it look real somehow. Anyways, today I'll try to find some play-cars for my project. It's time to set things on fire!

I'm also thinking of paint my model, but I have not decide yet...time will tell.

My model.

Today was my 3:rd meeting with Mr M and the other members of my group. I do enjoy wednesdays cause then I know everything will be just fine when it comes to my project. As always I have felt a bit confused and lost at the same time. I almost felt like a questionmark when I entered the classroom today, I just didn't know WHERE to begin and HOW to talk about my project and WHAT I have been up to lately. But Mr M and my classmates made it clear and helped me become normal again. Just what I was longing for.

I have been thinking about the vandalizations in Backa, which is a part of Gothenburgh, and about the young people who wants to be seen and heard. What would the reactions be if something like that happened in Kungsladugård? More interesting might be the question; would vandalizations, like those which has happened in Backa, ever begin in Kungsladugård? The barn burned down nearly ten years ago, hmm...how did that happened? Who was responsible for that fire?

Today, directly after the meeting, I started to build a model of my place. I have a plan...

Confused.

So, today we had the 3:rd meeting at school and I got so confused after that meeting. How am I gonna get through this? I thought I had an idea, but now it's something else that has popped into my mind. Something new. My plan is no longer with me. I had a plan when I reached school today, but...hmm, now I have to replan and do things over again. What do I want? What is it that I'm looking for?

I want to build a model somehow and Mr M says I should do that. So I'm going to. But I don't know if I am going to use my place in my project. What I want is to invite teens, younger children. I want to listen to their thoughts and wishes. But I also interested in segregation. Oooh...too messy at the moment. But I'll follow Mr M's words and my classmates words aswell. I'm lucky to be around smart people at the moment...what had I done without them...probably not much.

A new comment.

Ok. So I made a comment this friday, but I was in a hurry so I did not have time to finish it.

I do have a lot on my mind about my project and it feels alright. I do have a plan, but I'm not sure that I will follow it. Probably not, but it is good to have a plan though. Anyway, as I said, I went to my spot last friday and it was a good day to make borders. I was standing there for a while at first, try to "feel" my in-between-place. I don't know if I acctually felt it, at least I tried. I was not sure HOW to make borders, but I found a stick and I used it as a tool. I almost felt like I was a part of a white, unwritten piece of paper and the stick was MY pen to make borders with. I've been thinking about that during the weekend and that thought has been the start of my plan.

So. My project USED to be one unwritten, white piece of paper, but now it is bordered with a "pencil". This is the GROUND. And there will be buildings on THAT ground. What buldings; I'm not sure of that yet. That is where the TEENS comes in. I have e-mailed two teachers at two different types of schools here in Gothenburg. I want to hear what teens have to say, what their dreams are when it comes to a youth-place-to-hang-out. I want the place to be the key between the teens and society and I want them to be a part of my work. Mr J is also a BIG part in my project. He has one thought of the place, I'm not ready to share it yet. I have to think about it a bit and meet J a few more times. He is important to me and I almost "feel" him in this work. His thoughts are in my mind. I have also tried to draw a few pics of my place and what it COULD look like. Since I have explaind earlier; I'm gonna build a smaller model of my place. Hopefully, at least, that is my plan.

SVT-PLAY.se, what a good thing. And this time I am gonna use that as a source, or as a refrence in this comment. At the time SVT-PLAY.se has a program which name is "Hemliga svenska rum" (Secret swedish rooms). The program is and shows abanoded places around Sweden, almost like an in between space, and as a viewer you'll follow a team who explore, investigate and research these places. One part is only 12 minutes long, so it is worth seeing the three parts which are on the internet at:

http://svt.se/2.110386/hemliga_svenska_rum


On the 16:th of october SVT also shows a documentary film which is called "In the white room" and the film is made by Bengt Bok. Bok has met Gunnel Wåhlstrand who paints "look alike" paintings of allready taken photos (the paintings seems amazing!). So, if you don't have plans on friday, do not miss this. I think it will be interesting.

See you tomorrow!
